All detected voids expand by two rules of physics: (i) The Einsteinian-­‐Hubble inertia left over from the Big-­‐bang expansion-­‐ explosion, which had been predicted by Einstein's field equations accepting no static solutions, prior to being detected-­‐affirmed by Hubble around 1929,

(ii) Conservation of Linear Momentum, which controls all rocket & jet engine propulsion-­‐forces, while in this large-­‐scale-­‐pouring of stellar-­‐winds-­‐jets into each void, from all surrounding directions, it generates the largest energy sink in the entire universe, while also causing the 'walls' of super-­‐clusters of galaxies to

be pushed-­‐away faster from the expanding voids, without being expanded inside each galaxy, thus slightly accelerating the detected voids-­‐expansion due to the left-­‐over inertia. This claim is illustrated by 4 symbolic yellow arrows marked in one of the observed expanding voids and in figure 4 below.

RECAP: Since said jets enter each void from all directions, they push away the 'walls' of super-­‐ clusters of galaxies that surround each void, causing the recently detected slight acceleration of the voids expansion beyond the Einsteinian-­‐Hubble expansion (i). Thus there is no need to explain the detected acceleration by speculating a cosmos full of undetected dark matter and dark energy – a fast-­‐spreading speculation that bears some resemblance to the Greek mythological animal chimera shown below.

MOST IMPORTANT is to next carefully assess Figures 3 & 4

Claim 1: All galaxies, stars, planets are less important than the marked dynamics and the resulting bylaws dictated by the observed, expanding, cooling VOIDS-­‐SPACE-­‐1 as the MASTER TIME of all Evolution. But first re-­‐assess opposite-­‐jet-­‐thrust-­‐push-­‐on-­‐walls in figure 4 below.

Claim 2: Stellar-­‐chemical-­‐supernova-­‐evolution, and the generation of the elements of life inside such massive stars that become supernova are NOT possible without the release of their-­‐stellar-­‐winds into spaces-­‐3, 2 and eventually into the universal sink provided by the detected VOIDS/SPACE-­‐1-­‐EXPANSION, which as shown in Figures 2 and 4, causes non-­‐ expanding material 'walls' to move away from each other in acceleration atop the left-­‐over inertia-­‐expansion since the Big-­‐Bang explosion of all space 17.8 years ago.

Claim 3: Said expansion is not only the root-­‐cause of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, but of all human perceptions of time, the creator, unified world order, all gravitational structures-­‐matter, life and even in resolving some controversial END-­‐TIME ideas in various organized religions.

Thought Experiment-I The observed voids in Fig. 2 are zoomed-in for Fig. 4 illustration. Next, according to the New Astrophysical School, we first illustrate our claims by imagining a room made of flexible walls-­‐floors-­‐ceiling out of each millions of high-­‐speed-­‐stellar-­‐winds-­‐jets pour into the room. By propulsion force ("push", "thrust") in the opposite direction, these "jets" expand the volume of the room in analogy to increasing the volume of the voids/SPACE-­‐1, causing endless chains of feedback effects discussed below and in references 1-­‐5. RECAP: The galactic 'walls' are pushed away from each void-center. COLLECTIVELY the entire web of voids expand and thus move away from each other. Thus, the entire cosmos is not only expanding during the last 13.8 billion years via the Big-Bang-inertia, but its expansion is slightly ACCELERATED by these jets. Consequently, the mysterious dark matter and dark energy that are claimed by the great armies of theorists are nothing but chimera.

RECAP Expanding SPACE-­‐1 is thus defined as the collection of all detected voids in Fig. 2. This definition leads to the definitions of Spaces-­‐2 and 3 inside the 'WALLS' of shining-­‐radiating super-­‐clusters of galaxies, each harboring millions of Spaces 2 and 3 'cells'. Black holes generate additional local sinks for stellar winds, dusts and matter that are swallowed up by black holes gravity, like the ones in the centers of galaxies. However, said black-hole-sinks are less universal sinks in comparison with the gigantic, un-saturate-able SPACE-1 sink., which expands faster than being filled in by said jets. On black holes we say a few words in the footnotes below.

Factual Background The title Doctor was denied in 1964 to the author by the Teacher of undergraduate course on thermodynamics. He testified before a committee of professors that as 1958undergraduate student, the author had refused to participate in the "Thermo examinations" claiming he had developed before his own "Thermo", which many termed

"GOAT-HORNS Effects on the RADIATION of The SUN". As a Doctoral Candidate, the author presented to the committee Einsteinian-Hubble evidence (References 1 to xx), and claimed: v

STARS CANNOT GENERATE the elements of chemistry that lead to Life, without "The Detected Voids-Space-1-Thermo-Sink" into which all radiation irreversibly go, except the local ones swallowed by black holes.

Early Thought-Experiment: Imagine the detected 17.8 yearsvoids-expansion stops "tomorrow". Next, perhaps with the help of Thought-Experiments II to IV provided below, the sole physical conclusion is established of thermal equilibrium all over the universe, gradually destroying all galaxies, stars, planets and moons, whereby all processes in the universe stop. BTW: This "thermal equilibrium" generates an "End-Time" option whereby even the earth temperatures would approach that of the sun before earth is being 'evaporated' to genesis chaotic soup.

Eight years later, said first-time disclosures were awarded gold Medal prize by the New Yorks Academy of Sciences [Ref. 3] and have since evoked the following reactions: I continue to reflect, again and again, on your central thesis that expansion is the origin of all asymmetry in time. What an ingenious phrase is your, “smuggle irreversibility in without declaring the contraband”! Prof. John A. Wheeler, Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS: “Gal-Or's remarkable book sees and seizes the world whole. He emphasizes that all scientists operate under some set of philosophical prejudices, and that failure to acknowledge this is self-delusion. Furthermore, he argues that a failure to attend to the philosophical base of physics leads to an empty scientism. One 'and perhaps the central' theme explored, is that of the interplay between symmetry and asymmetry. His primary interest is not in the recent progress in the unification of forces in gauge theory, although he finds support in it for his Einsteinian outlook, but is rather time, time's arrow, and the asymmetry between past and future. Around time are accumulated discussions, both mathematical and philosophical, of thermodynamic reversibility, time reversibility, the nature of causality, and the use of advanced and retarded solutions to wave equations.

The second major theme is that of gravity and its overwhelming domination of the actual form of the universe, at all scales. The combination of these themes is not accidental; they are point and counterpoint to his thesis that the time asymmetries are connectable to and perhaps even determined by the master asymmetry given by the gravity of general relativity: the remorseless cosmological expansion. He argues that only the expansion can provide the unification of time asymmetries. The expansion provides, among other things, an unsaturable sink for radiation, which, in turn, permits the establishment of gradients in temperature and density, which provide the basis for the physical process that leads to life. He also criticizes the sloppy and improper use of the concepts of entropy 'and the related notions in information theory' and quantum indeterminism, especially as covers for an inadequate understanding of temporal asymmetries. Taking an Einsteinian position on the interpretation of quantum mechanics, he looks forward to revitalization of Einstein's quest for a deterministic interpretation of quantum events. The value of this book lies in the challenging combination of ideas which Gal-Or presents, which goes far beyond what can be sensibly described in a review. [This] work may be too large to digest as a text in these days of the decline of academic institutions "as Gal-Or describes them", but that will be the loss of both the faculty and the students.” AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS "Einstein's time-symmetric tensor was elevated by Gal-Or’s “New Astronomical School of Unified Thermodynamics” to the status of the source of “Master Asymmetry” controlling not only irreversible thermodynamics, but all physical and biological phenomena! Gal-Or calls “GRAVITISM” (his philosophy) that gravitation is the prime cause of structures, irreversibility, time, geo-chemical and biological evolution –

that the expansion of the universe is the cause of the second law of thermodynamics -- that microscopic physics, and thermodynamics in particular, cannot be understood without reference to cosmology. He ties “irreversibility” to the “expansion of space itself”, i.e. as far as space is expanding, the contribution of all kinds of radiation in space is weakened “irreversibly” due to the expansion phenomenon itself. Such loss, or “degradation” of energy in the depth of inter-cluster expanding space, may then be considered as a universal sink for all the radiation flowing out of the material bodies in the expanding universe.” Advancement of Physics "Gal-Or launches a new spirit of inquiry by his excellent and thought provoking writings. I would recommend awarding a prize and would hope that this would serve to focus attention on a most important subject.” N.Y. Academy of Sciences Prize (1) ____________ (1)

What Did van Gogh Imagine When He Painted This Picture? Apparently he did not think that the field of gravitation has generated all. Yet, his painting conveys the ‘reality’ that all living and non-living systems are embedded in a 'field of brush strokes’, which, by themselves, in their very shape, direction and rhythm, convey the presence of flux, structure, cosmos and universal field of force, which penetrates all things and is at one with land, life, sky and the stars.

The telescope at one end of his beat, And at the other end the microscope, Two instruments of equal hope …

Stay with Einstein, Reject Mysticism and Chimera Part B

WARNING The Fooling Assertion by Nobel Laureate Feynman “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way.” “You should not fool the layman when you’re talking as a scientist. I am not trying to tell you what to do about cheating on your wife, or fooling your girlfriend, or something like that, when you’re not trying to be a scientist, but just trying to be an ordinary human being. … I’m talking about a specific, extra type of integrity that is not lying, but bending over backwards to show how you are maybe wrong, that you ought to have when acting as a scientist. And this is our responsibility as scientists, certainly to other scientists, and to the laymen.

Notes: 60 % of Italians don’t read books, 10% own none, according to new figures from the Italian national statistics agency, Istat. Jan. 15, 2015.

Similar tendencies rule some other societies. Projecting to the next generation, the West may hardly be better than the THIRD WORLD.

Hawking’s Festival with the media & book-avoiding, ill-informed masses, not only intimidates media-shy-scientists, but is fooling himself, fellow scientists and the young. WHY?

Relentlessly Hawking is pushing the image of science far into mysticism and a misleading populism that exploit the layperson ignorance of what is verifiable science and what is chimera. But the root problem in theoretical physics today is not only Hawking, but the many opportunistic scientists that support and exploit such abuses of verifiable science. Without their support the media would have failed to make an icon out of this false prophet; would at least resort to the audacity of truth: The entire Hawking festival does not even rise to the level of being wrong in the domain of verifiable science.* * An unknown personal fact is added next: The journal Nature was among the first to publish a review on Volume I of these books, which, inter alia, contains strong criticism of Stephen Hawking’s theories as lacking any possible future verification and some are not his but of J. D. Beckenstein, or a personal dogma. That review was written by Hawking, who hinted there that instead of my not-easy-to-understand book [incorporating, inter alia, hundreds of general relativity and classical physics mathematical equations (Table of Contents below)], he would write a popular one with jokes for the masses, which he next did, while adopting much of the book’s general approach and omitting all mathematical equations, but adding mysticism and personal opinions.

Assertions 1 to 3

Limitations of Personalized Theories of Everything (1) All academics operate under some set of philosophical prejudices, and failure to acknowledge this is self-delusion. (Worldwide Acclaims Book, [5]; Table Of Contents below]). (2) The First Law of Verifiable Science premises willingness to submit any theory to unequivocal, re-verifiable tests. (Limitations of Theories, Universities & Definitions, herein below.). (3) If said Law is violated by proven test-impossibility, like Hawking’s most popular, past-promised “Theory of Everything”, or “infinite preUniverses”, and other, personal, semi-sacrosanct dogma, his popular “science” also fails under the Feynman Fooling Assertion, as betraying his duty to himself, to his fellow scientists, to the media and to the next generation that is under a tsunami of internet & media options that increase confusion chances of mystical, or wrong “science” to become sacrosanct dogma of the ill-informed.

"The Judeo-Christian Tradition” in Scientific American; Victor F. Weisskopf, from MIT, quotes Volume I: "Most astrophysicists, cosmologists and astronomers agree that the biblical account of cosmic evolution, in stressing `a beginning´ and the initial roles of `void,´ `light´ and a `structureless´ state, may be uncannily close to the verified evidence with which modern science has already supplied us" “Lecture one [in Volume I] affirms that the stress placed by Genesis on ‘beginning’ and the initial roles of ‘void’, ‘light’ and a ‘structure-less’ state, “may be uncannily close to the verified evidence with which modern science has already supplied us.” Christian Apologetics, Journal

The Catholic Church also confirms that there is no contradiction between the Bible, astrophysics and modern cosmology. (2014 Pop Declaration.) As to Hawking’s club that repeatedly inform the ill-informed about pre-creation multiple Universes, one may first quote the ancient philosophy: God made hell for those who ask and say what he was doing before creation.

FWe begin by noting the dark, expanding VOIDS and the 100 million light years scale of this modern-telescopes-record. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is less than a visible dot in Virgo. We next ask:

What do we know about these EXPANDING Dark Voids ?

Detailed answers, provided in Vol. I and below, are not easy to follow, even by mature professional astronomers and astrophysicists. Why?

Fig. 1.2: RECAP I: Non-Expanding matter in SPACES 3 & 2 are defined by Fig. 1. The visible universe contains billions of galaxies, structured as clusters and super-cluster “filaments”. (Fig. 2). Each galaxy contains billions of stars. (see below). The galaxies are “gravity grouped” in non-expanding clusters & super-clusters. (i) CLUSTERS I & II marked here represent non-expanding clusters & superclusters of galaxies. (ii) Expanding-Cooling VOIDS/SPACE-1 28

(iii) Space-1-expansion causes Stellar Winds (Fig. 1) to proceed from Space-3 to Space-2 and finally to stop and clash with opposing stellar winds in all voids in Space-1. (Fig. 2), (iv) Gravity & Space-1-expansion cause chemistry evolution via stellar evolution & supernovae explosions to form solar-system planets, atmospheres, water, life, thinking atoms, arrows of time, 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, linguistic-asymmetric-structuralism, Gravitism & Havayism. (Vol. I). Gravitism and Havayism introduce Space-­‐1-­‐Expansion as the MASTER-­‐origin of all time-­‐space asymmetries, life, socio-­‐biology-­‐structuralism, linguistic arrow of time, dynamics & thermodynamics of all processes, but not including micro-­‐ physics models of quantum mechanics. (Vol. I). The following definitions are introduced next: Stellar Winds from our sun, Stellar Winds from other active stars in our galaxy, Stellar Winds from other galaxies, Remnant glow radiation from the creation moment of the universe (the “Big Bang”) on which we shall say a few words later. ALL THESE WINDS, we claim in Gravitism, eventually proceed and dissipate irreversibly in the huge depths of expanding cold voids that we term Space-­‐1, which surrounds and wraps around all super-­‐clusters of galaxies. In between Space-­‐3 inside galaxies, and expanding dark-­‐cold-­‐Voids/Space-­‐1 there is Space-­‐2, which is between all galaxies grouped in CLUSTERS or SUPER-­‐CLUSTERS of galaxies. (Fig. 1.2, 1.3, 1.4). Exceptions to this unified cosmic migration are those local winds, dusts and clouds that are swallowed up by black holes, like into the ones in the centers of some galaxies. On that issue we shall say a few words later. RECAP: Without said VOIDS/SPACE-­‐1-­‐expansion, a universal, thermodynamic Equilibrium stops all. 29

Fig. 1.4: Even at this zoomed-­‐in scale, our Solar System (Fig. 1) is less than a visible dot. Andromeda (marked in yellow), like our galaxy, is also a large member of our Local Group of galaxies. It is characterized by a spiral structure similar to our galaxy, and is a mere 2,200,000 light-­‐years away. That means that we see it today as it was when hominids left east Africa to arrive at the Lake of Galil. (Lecture 5, WORLD HISTORY, Vol. IV). Both galaxies are the largest in our Local Group, which is about 10,000,000 light-­‐years in its largest spatial ‘diameter’. NOTES: The distance scale “1 million ly” shown in this Fig. 1.4, is a zoom-­‐in from “10 million ly” in Fig. 1.3, in turn, a zoom-­‐in from “100 million ly” scale of Fig. 1.1, where “one ly” is the 31

Our local group includes M49, M58, M59, M60, M61, M84, M86, M87, M89 and M31 (Andromeda). Andromeda’s system consists of Cassiopeia Dwarf, Pegasus dSph, M32, M110, NGC 147, NGC195, AND I-­‐V, etc. The Triangulum Galaxy, the 3rd largest galaxy in ‘our’ local group, also includes the Pisces Dwarf as a satellite. ‘Our’ satellite galaxies consist of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, Ursa Minor Dwarf, Darco Dwarf, Sculptor Dwarf, Canis Major Dwarf, Fornax Dwarf, Carina Dwarf, Sextans Dwarf, Tucana Dwarf, Leo I, Leo II, Leo A, Sag DEG, etc.

Fig. 1.5: The “Fog” visible inside this galaxy is composed of billions of stars like our sun – a reminder of the scales, and galactic rotations that we observe and calculate by measuring red shifts. (Footnote 1. The Solar System (Fig. 1) extends far beyond the farthest planets, asteroid belt, Kuiper belt, comets, rocks and dust in ‘our’ community. It is located inside non-­‐expanding Space 2 that wraps our entire galaxy and is spatially interconnected with expanding VOIDS/Space 1. Gravitational structures of clusters and superclusters vary considerably -­‐-­‐ from that of Virgo, Leo, Ursa, Coma and Hercules to long ‘filaments’. [Fig. 2].

ive key Simultaneous Motions: Planet earth rotates around its axis, once a

“day”, orbits the sun, once a “year”, participates in the solar system rotation within our entire galaxy rotation, about 250 km/sec our galaxy participates in the cosmic expansion of the voids, which increases distances between super-­‐ clusters There are also various individual relative motions of galaxies within clusters and super-­‐clusters. (Vol. I).

Fig. 1.6: These Earliest Recorded Expanding Cosmic Voids were recorded 13.2 Billion years post the big-­‐bang. The gravitationally structured yellow-­‐green-­‐red matter emitters are flying away from each other by the BIG-­‐BANG left-­‐over expansion-­‐inertia. Generated between them are new void-­‐spaces recorded here as small blue spots. These are the earliest Voids/SPACE-­‐1 whose size, shapes and dynamicsthermodynamics are illustrated by Fig. 2 NOTE: The yellow-­‐green-­‐red radiation sources are the earliest, gravitationally-­‐ condensed, and thus hotter emitters of radiation absorbed irreversibly in expanding BLUE-­‐COLD VOIDS recorded here. [World History, Lecture 5, Vol. IV]. These “blue-­‐baby voids” are to be increased in size by their big-­‐bang-­‐inertia-­‐ expansion to reach the huge sizes and shapes of voids recorded in Fig. 2. However, due to the limited speed of light and the expansion of these voids, we see less of them in Fig. 2. 33

Einsteinian gravitational dynamics

(Vol. I & Ref. 1) has caused

these early emitters to eventually assume the observed �filament-structures� (Fig. 1.1), inside one of them we live, and make the following conclusions: 1. ALL earliest expanding voids (early SPACE-1) recorded in Fig. 1.6 are interconnected in 3-dimensional space and, thus, wrap around the yellow-greenred hot sources. 2. At this stage in World History all expanding cold voids have already started to irreversibly absorb radiation poured into them from the early gravitationallycondensing, and, therefore, heated material emitters. (Fig. 1.2). 3. This differentiation-aggregation of matter vs. voids is isotropic and homogeneous. The Cosmic Blackbody Microwave Background Radiation [CMBR] was discovered in 1941-1964 and is the remnant of radiation in early SPACE-1, which has since exp.nded and cooled by

S

PACE-1/VOIDS-expansion, AND COOLING, has been going on during

about 13.72 billion years. But because Space-1 is defined between gravitational objects, the figure is about 13.2 billion years. Why? From the first half a billion years age of the universe, the radiation-dominated era (Lecture 5) has left no direct evidence. Only indirectly we know that it had been cooled down from extremely high temperatures until gravitational objects had started to be formed about 13.2 billion years ago, starting the matter-dominated era. (Fig. 1.6, LECTURE 5, Vol. III, WORLD HISTORY). 34

Eventually, after the gravitational objects had BEEN GRADUALLY STRUCTURED BY GRAVITATION OUT OF THE COOLING RADIATION CHAOS, THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE HAD BEEN cooled down BY THE EXPANSION to about 4,000-3,000 degrees KELVIN. Next, during 13.2 billion years, the contents of Space-1 have been cooled down by the expansion to ABOUT 2.3 K AT SOME VOIDS REGIONS. [Lecture 5]. NOTE: Via the observed cold-dark night sky, SPACES 3, 2, and 1 constitute our unaided eyes direct links to the 2.3 K “inter-galactic cold external world”, which, as we shall see later, has influenced the observed evolution of supernovas, planets, life and our life “here-now”.

The Home-Tub Thought Experiment II

I

magine that your home bath-tub is transformed today into an elastic rubber

bath-tub that is being continuously inflated when you pour hot water into it. This is an analogy to SPACE-1/VOIDS being expanded faster than it is filled up with radiation energy flowing into it from the shining sources around it. [Figs. 1.2 & 1.6]. In case you select to start inflating the bath-tub from, say, a midway water-level mark, that level would only go down with fast enough inflation rate of the bathtub, thereby you cannot fill it up, in analogy to the observed SPACE-1expansion. .(Fig. 1.6 vs. Fig. 1.1). CONCLUSIONS: Your ‘fast expanding bath-tub’ represents the cause of the dark-cold night sky that you observe by stepping out of your home on a noncloudy night. Since SPACE-1-expansion causes the cosmos to be UNSATURABLE with respect to the radiation energy emitted from all galaxies and active stars, the 35

radiation energy flowing into it from the shining sources cannot fill-it-up -- as far as it keeps expanding “fast enough�. This is THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS that rules all evolution, all life, all macro physics, all bona fide philosophy of science.

T

he measured 2.7 absolute degree Kelvin temperature of the cosmic

background blackbody radiation and the dark-cold night sky play a key role in this philosophy of science that we call Gravitism. SPACE-1-expansion causes electromagnetic radiation irreversibility [retarded waves] that we term the electromagnetic arrow of time. [Volume I]. Recap: If you stop the inflation of your home bath-tub, the water level would start rising and the bath-tub will now be filled up gradually. (In analogy, the night sky would become hotter and hotter until, eventually, it reaches the maximum fusion temperature (Footnotes 3, 4, 5) in the interiors of all stellar objects.).

In short,

because (i) Equilibrium stops all without VOIDS/SPACE-1expansion, (ii) OPPOSING STELLAR WINDS (Figs. 1.2, 1.2.1) CLASH in each void TO STAGNANT STOP, causing build-up of stagnant radiation pressures, whose gradients slightly add to accelerate filaments inertia recession away from each other.

RAISIN CAKE Thought Experiment III

O

ne may next bake a raisin cake where each raisin represents a supercluster

as the entire cake expands. If the raisins are spread about evenly throughout the cake dough, they may represent the receding away superclusters as they run away from each other due to the expansion of the universe (expansion of voids/Space-1). One may next imagine a tiny “educated observer” located on each nonexpanding raisin. Inquiring what he sees, he tells you that all other raisins are moving away from him, and that the density of cake-matter between him and nearby raisins decreases. Next, if you move him to another raisin, he observes the same. COROLLARY: Most of the “time” ‘After’ the ‘Big Bang’ there has been

no

clock

other than the increasing “size” of the universe, or the decrease in energy-matter density, or temperature.

In short, (i) Our sun-earth time-scale is irrelevant prior to the formation of the solar system and the recent arrival of thinking atoms. Thus, an alternative clock was introduced in Volume I, (ii) Equilibrium stops all without VOIDS/SPACE-1-expansion, (iii) OPPOSING STELLAR WINDS (Figs. 1.2, 1.2.1) CLASH in each void TO STAGNANT STOP, causing build-up of stagnant radiation pressures, whose gradients slightly add to accelerate filaments inertia recession away from each other. (Figs. 1.1, 1.6; One may also consult Footnote 12 about mystic dark matter & dark nergy speculations and theories.).

The Inflating Balloon Thought Experiment IV

O

n the surface of an inflating balloon one may paint small images of

superclusters of galaxies, as in Figs. 1.1 and/or 1.2. Next imagine a tiny “two-dimensional educated observer” located on each image. HOWEVER this time he is only capable of perception of a surface, namely, only the two-dimensional, curved space-time surface of his inflating-expanding balloon. The conclusion of this wise creature is similar to the one in Experiment II: All superclusters of galaxies are receding away “from me”, no matter where I stand on the balloon surface. Note also, that according to EGR, the balloon-universe harbors no

‘edge’.

It is finite in surface area, but boundless. And, for this two-dimensional creature, it is not expanding "into" any extant space outside the balloon. For this creature just the surface of the whole balloon is ‘the whole universe’; namely, there is no ‘outside’ three-dimensional space. Similarly, within our familiar three-dimensional universe, there is no

‘outside’ into which the actual universe is expanding.

Einstein’s General Relativity The Base of Gravitism

E

instein’s General Relativity (“EGR”) [Vol. I, Footnote 1 below and

Lecture 3 herein] is expressed by his revolutionary, tensorial, field equations. These stand behind GRAVITY PHYSICS. (Lectures 3 and 4 herein)

It were non-scientific, socio-religious pressures that had forced Einstein to make the worse blunder of his life, by forcing on EGR an artificial number aimed to stop the unacceptable at that time unstable, expanding or contracting universe. [Vol, I & Ref. 1].

In short,

(i) Total, high-temperature, cosmic thermodynamic equilibrium stops all processes without VOIDS/SPACE-1-expansion, (ii) but with said expansion OPPOSING STELLAR WINDS (Figs. 1.2, 1.2.1) CLASH in each expanding void TO STAGNANT STOP, causing build-up of stagnant radiation pressures, whose gradients slightly add to accelerate filaments inertia recession away from each other. (Figs. 1.1, 1.6; One may also consult Footnote 12 about mystic “dark-matter” & “dark-energy” speculations and theories.).

Said mystic theories also resort to Einstein’s rejected “cosmological constant” as the worse blunder of his life, artificially adding it due to social pressure. Hence we call it “MYSTIC SOCIAL CONSTANT”, while noting that without it EGR accepts no plausible static cosmological solutions, which means that the universe must expand or contract, as evidenced since Hubble Expansion. (Cf. Figs. 1.1 and 1.2 and the terminology associated with expanding universe, expanding voids/Space-1.).

LOST Forever in Deep SPACE-1 ?

Due to the limited speed of light

and the expansion of Space-1,far-away portions of it fast run away every day beyond our ability to observe them, ever. Thus the VISIBLE universe recorded 39

in Fig. 1.1 is shrinking in time. Portions of it would not be available anyomore to our future telescopes. A pity. So better back-up Fig. 1.1 today ? Unlike most scientists, who claim that the entropy and disorder of the universe increase with time, we claim the opposite: Gravity everlasting

transformation of chaos into structures in the entire universe, decrease disorder-chaos at all scales, at all times since the chaotic Big-Banc. Recap EXPANDING UNIVERSE, Evidence of: Einsteinian Gravity Physics (Vol. I) had predicted the expansion of the universe before Hubble detected it in the mid 1920’s. [1-­‐5]. EXPANDING COSMIC VOIDS, Evidence of: Only the voids marked SPACE “1” EXPAND. Stars and super-­‐clusters of galaxies DO NOT. [1-­‐5]. Clusters I & II in Fig. 1.2 represent NON-­‐EXPANDING clusters, or super-­‐clusters of the galaxies shown in Fig. 1.1. Evolutions is Impossible without Space-­‐1/VOIDS-­‐Expansion, because static, non-­‐expanding voids generate thermal equilibrium around and with all galactic and stellar emitters, thereby ALL processes stop. [Thought Experiments below]. The Largest Cosmic “Sink” of energy-­‐matter in the entire universe is the irreversible expansion of the cosmic voids, which allows all stellar evolution and the generation of all heavy chemical elements in the hot cores of active stars, including massive stars that become Supernova. Footnotes

SUPERNOVA: SUPERMASSIVE stars evolve faster. (Vol. I). They reach the supernova exploding condition first, thereby spreading into space the chemical elements that later form the planets, and the building blocks of water and life. From there to thinking atoms the process is well known. (Lecture 5, Vol. IV). Black Holes are Secondary “Sinks”: Most shining galaxies contain a super massive black hole at their center. Footnotes. Each center acts like a gigantic galactic “sink” of matter-­‐energy in the ‘immediate neighborhood’ of such a black hole. 40

VOIDS vs. BLACK HOLES: In comparison with radiation-­‐unsaturable, expanding, VOIDS-­‐ SPACE-­‐1-­‐SINK, black holes are neither the largest thermodynamic “sinks”, nor the controlling factors of all evolution.

RECAP 1. ALL Super-­‐Clusters “move away” from each other, thereby generating new SPACE “1”, which is the only one that EXPANDS and functions as the largest thermodynamic “SINK”, without which all evolution is impossible. 2. EXPANDING cold-­‐dark voids/SPACE “1” is more important in evolution, world history, science and philosophy than all galaxies, stars and planets combined. 3. GRAVITY PHYSICS and the observed COSMIC VOIDS EXPANSION ARE the ROOT-­‐CAUSE of All Stellar Evolution, All Heavy Chemical Elements Generation, Supernova Explosions, Generation of Planets, life evolution, World History, Science and Philosophy. 4. Only a small portion of the stellar-­‐galactic radiation is irreversibly dissipated in galactic centers that harbor massive black holes, while most of it escapes the limited domains of Spaces 3 and 2 to be irreversibly dissipated in the depth of expanding SPACE-­‐1, which wraps around all superclusters of galaxies.

Recap SPACE-­‐1/EXPANDING-­‐VOIDS contain the remnant faint glow left over from the big bang, the cosmic microwave black-­‐body radiation, AND DENSITY-­‐GRADIENTS of photons, neutrinos, antineutrinos, gas, dust, etc. Their total energy density is marked at the Diagram left in electro-­‐volts/cm3. TOTAL ENERGY Density-­‐Pressure VARIATIONS (gradients) are marked lowest at voids’ centers, highest at galactic centers. (Fig. 1.2). Non-­‐Expanding SPACE 2 wraps around all galactic-­‐systems WITHIN each super-­‐cluster of galaxies. It harbors lower density gradients of said radiation and is linked to both SPACE-­‐ 1/Expanding Voids and Space-­‐3. 41

Non-­‐expanding SPACE 3 harbors highest energy-­‐density gradients of said radiation and it wraps around all stars-­‐systems WITHIN each galaxy. It is also defined as interstellar medium (Fig. 1.2.1) and is linked to Space 2, which, in turn, is linked to SPACE-­‐1/Expanding Voids. Spaces 1, 2 and 3, Absent Borders in between them. The 3 Spaces form a single, integrated continuum without sharp demarcation borders between them. Space-­‐1 has been expanding since the “Big Bang” event about 13.72 billion years ago. Spaces 3 and 2 were formed later, as the early stars and protogalaxies where formed by gravitation out of the uniform chaos described in Leacture 5, Vol. IV. Cluster II includes our Milky Way Galaxy. Our solar system is marked “Sun” in Fig. 1.2, and is detailed in Fig. 1.2.1. Cluster II represents the “Local Group” of galaxies defined by Figs. 1.3 & 1.4. WIND-­‐TYPE RADIATION, Dissipation in SPACE-­‐1: The gigantic amount of radiation energy pouring out from all shining galaxies and stars is isotropically proceeding in all space directions. It first proceeds from Space-­‐3 to Space-­‐2 and then irreversibly dissipated forever deep inside VOIDS-­‐SPACE-­‐1. Once entering SPACE-­‐1, the stellar winds are not reflected back. Inside the cold-­‐expanding voids the winds proceed to the lowest radiation energy density/pressure levels located about midway between the super-­‐cluster filaments. See Adiabatic virtual surfaces in Footnotes. Since 1966 we have termed that cosmic, one-­‐way travel “THE SECOND COSMOLOGICAL ARROW OF TIME” ROOT-­‐CAUSE of the SECOND LAW of THERMODYNAMICS. If the voids stop expanding, the dissipation of radiation energy pouring out from all active stars and galaxies would gradually stop too, evolution of stars next stops too, the entire universe would gradually reach equilibrium and all life is extinguished. RECAP: Without the observed Voids/Space-­‐1-­‐expansion – the so called HUBBLE EXPANSION -­‐ -­‐ the density of radiation energy winds (Fig. 1.2) in all space would increase with time, eventually reaching the highest temperatures that are maintained by nuclear fusionFootnotes in the cores of all active stellar cores, causing not only our roasting on earth and disintegrations of all structures in the entire universe, but an eventual equilibrium throughout all space, 42

namely, gradually approaching the same temperatures in all Spaces 3, 2 and 1. This would result in the gradually vanishing of the ’hills-­‐Valleys’ gradients depicted in Fig. 1.2.

EDUCATIONAL EXAMPLE: The color spectrum on the right of the 2nd image illustrates a redshift – the light waves marked as horizontal black lines have been shifted “up” (white arrows) in the direction of the red region at the top of the image. The measured red shift is next compared with that of a ‘static’ source [left spectrum, no shift.], like that of the radiation arriving to earth from the sun.

Hubble Cosmic Expansion Law is marked in Fig. 1.2 as Uo=Hor, where “r” is the distance from earth to “CLUSTER I”. Here “r” represents super-clusters or a cluster of galaxies recorded in Fig. 1.1 or Figs. 1.3 & 1.4. Here Ho is the Hubble Constant and Uo the recession velocity, namely, the recession velocity Clusters or super-clusters VOIDS/SPACE-1 move-away from observers on earth.

A

ccording to general relativity (Vol. I & Lectures 3, 4 herein): (1) Special

relativity effects are locally valid in small regions of space-time that are approximately ‘flat’ [low gravity values, like on Earth.], (2) The universe is not expanding "into" anything outside itself. [Cf. Thought Experiments 1 to III above]. Galaxies move or rotate individually in SPACE-2, but do not individually expand. ONLY VOIDS/SPACE-1 expand [Figs. 1.6 vs. 1.1]. Said expansion is due largely to inertia left over from the Big-Bang explosion. HOWEVER, a slight acceleration had bee detected, and, as a side remark, we claim that it is caused by clashes of all stellar winds (Fig. 1.2.1) in the core of each void, as they arrive from opposite directions, namely, from the surrounding filaments of super-clusters. That clashes stop the fast stellar winds, and, like in fluid dynamics, drastically rase the pressure to stagnant values, which gradually accumulate to cause back “repulsive” force on the filaments around them, 46

thereby adding to the left-over inertia expansion of the filaments away from each other. [2011 published draft of Vol. III by Scribd.].

Hubble’s astronomical observations prove that superclusters of galaxies [Fig. 1.1] are moving away from each other with speeds proportional to their distance from each other [Fig. 1.2 and Hubble Law stated above ]. Hence, combined with the results shown by Fig. 1.6, the universe had a beginning. (More in Footnote 12). E. HUBBLE >>

T

he VOIDS/SPACE-1expansion is independently confirmed-verified by

the cosmic microwave blackbody radiation. Fig. 1.6 also proves that it is not the expansion of galaxies and stars, but of VOIDS/SPACE-1, and, with Fig. 1.1, and other 3-Dimentional, models of Fig. 1.1, the visible universe is “the same” in all directions (isotropic and almost homogeneous). Measured isotropic distribution across the sky of distant gamma-ray bursts, and of supernova explosions [see below], also supports this conclusion.

Our net motion in Space. Five key simultaneous motions were noted earlier. More specifically, the direction of the earth’s net motion lies in the same plane as its orbit around the sun and at angle of 61 degrees tilted upward [northward] from the plane of the disk-like Milky Way. (Fig. 1.2.1). 47

Recap: Earth rotates and travels around the sun, while the sun travels around the galactic center, and the entire galaxy rotates about 250 km/hr in our Orio arm. (Figs 1.2.1 & 1.6). These motions should not be confused with the recession speed of clusters and super-clusters of galaxies away from each other. [R(t) in Fig. 1.2], which is also called ”the Hubble Expansion”. Our galaxy is deviating from this uniform expansion motion by about 600

km/sec.

Einstein’s General Relativity & Lens

E

instein’s General Relativity (EGR, or Gravity Physics) is formulated and

reviewed in Volume I with key mathematics and the verifying tests involved. Lectures 3 and 4 in Vol. IV briefly key issues, but without the mathamatics. In this footnote we introduce the preliminary terminolgy of curved space-time by gravitations, as needed to understand how Einstein’s Lens help reveal some hidden, far-awy (earliest) stars and other gravitational objects. Generally speaking EGR is formulated in the same form for all observers – accelerating, linearly moving, rotating, standing on a minor astronomical body, like earth, or on a massive star. For that aim one needs ‘translators’ from one observer coordinate system to another. These ‘translators’ are energy-momentum metric tensors [Vol. 1]. They include first and second mathematical derivatives in three space coordinates and in one time coordinate of local physical properties: mass, energy and momentum. Changes in the gravitational force are accounted for by changes in the curvature of space-time, on one hand, and by changes in local mass-energy and momentum on the other side of Einstein’s Field Equations, EFE. [13]. 48

The brown-orange arrows show the magnified source, while the gray-white arrows show the actual path of light from the hidden source. Einstein calculated such effect for future astronomy. These “lens” become useful when the gravity of a massive cosmic object curves space-time between the observer and a hidden, far-away object. It is a well-verified phenomenon, which causes bending of the path of radiation, say, light, from an otherwise hidden source. The key point is that this effect magnifies early sources and is especially interesting in studies of the early “Age of the universe”, which had started about 200,000 to 350,000 years after the “Big Bang”. “Expansion of the universe” or “expansion of space” is defined herein as the expansion of the cold-dark voids recorded in Figs. 1.1 & 1.6. This fact has confused many theorists. Most important is the solid evidence that has been accumulated by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, Voyager probes [Fig. 1.2.1], the ground-based LIGO and VIRGO observatories, and others. 49

The use of Einstein lens and new infrared, radio, infrared, X-ray and other techniques has substantially increased the reliability of information about phenomena and processes in the most remote regions of curved space-time.

3. Evolution of Chemistry by Nuclear Fusion

T

he most important

“chemical” process in the universe is caused by GRAVITY. Gravity causes extremely high pressures in the inner cores of active stars [picture]. In said hot cores the chemical elements beyond hydrogen, are created by transforming (fusing) hydrogen plasma, [H], into heavier elements like Helium [He], carbon [C], oxygen [O], nitrogen, phosphor, and iron [Fe] at all active star centers.

Typical

Sun-Like

Star is a

“factory” for generation of chemical elements like the ones marked on the right, the heavy one, IRON, at its hottest core. Note the energy flows in the image above and the convection currents from the very hot, thermo-nuclear reacting core, to the colder surface and 50

the various types of radiations and particles pouring out into non-expanding, colder SPACE-3. (Fig. 1.2.1). According to both Einsteinian and Newtonian physics, the bigger the mass of a star, the higher are its core pressures and temperatures and faster are the nuclear fusion processes in its interior. [Vol. I]. Conclusion: All active stars (billions in each galaxy, active in billions of galaxies depicted in Fig. 1.1) generate in their interiors the basic chemical elements beyond hydrogen and helium; namely, all the basic elements of matter that we observe on earth, and in our body and brain, were born in the belly of our dead mother that had died in a violent explosion. (details Below).

How do we know that?

O

n both

fusion and fission scientists know much.

Fusion is the reaction in hydrogen-bomb explosions, while fission is the reaction in atomic reactors and in ‘regular’ atomic weapons. When a certain amount of iron is formed in the interiors of active stars, endothermic reaction replaces the exothermic one. (The exothermic reaction generates energy, while the endothermic consumes it.) All active stars produce energy through such nuclear fusion.

upernovas are gravity-induced phenomena that astronomers observe in

galaxies when a massive star ends its life by internal collapse-implosion. The collapse begins when the fusion process1.4 that produces energy, ends. Why this relatively massive star had ended its life in a gigantic explosion? Is this common cosmic phenomenon important?

Star explosion throws out into SPACE-3 hot debris, dust gases. Floating in Space-3 the debris, dust gases may be in the path of a star like the sun. Indeed, such remnants of a supernova in our galaxy were captured into orbit around the sun. Gravity then guided and compressed some debris to form the observed spherical planets and moons in the Solar system. Life followed as detailed in Lecture 5, Vol. IV. So supernova may be our dead mother.

Why supernovas explode?

T

he sole sin of such innocent stars is being too fat and big, thereby

converting their huge mass, (initially only hydrogen and helium), by nuclear the well-known fusion metabolism, to heavier chemical elements [oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphor, etc.], more quickly than do smaller stars, like our sun.1.8 Recap: All active (shining) stars generate the heavier chemical elements at the high temperatures-pressures that gravity induces in their interiors. But the massive stars arrive to that ‘End-of-life Stage’ earlier than smaller stars do. That ‘End-of-life Stage’ may, however, be the

‘Beginning-of-life-

Process’

in case the supernova debris (‘ashes’) gradually form orbiting planets around stars, as is the case that we must assert was the beginning of our solar system.

6. GRAVITY Causes “NATURAL SELECTION”

I

t is always gravitation that plays the central role in the "selection" of the

structures to be produced: First in controlling the structures galaxies and clusters in SPACE-1, then in forcing chemical evolution through a succession of specific reactions in which evolution means the development of complex elements from simple ones. [Hydrogen and helium make up about 99% of all observable matter in the universe.

Hence, we and the planets in the solar system constitute just little ‘impure grains’ in the vast ‘clean’ universe.

In short,

gravity is the only 'suitable’ or ‘fittest' force -- in human

concepts, that builds chemical elements by successively adding, in the hot interiors of all active stars, small increments of mass and electric charge in selected combinations that are completely controlled by the value of the attractive gravity force-pressure-temperature.

S

upernova unusual bright glow has been studied since 1054, starting from

the Crab Nebula. [Image]. At its center there is a neutron star spewing energy and ‘elementary particles’ into SPACE-3. Said radiation net flow then proceed to SPACE-2 and, eventually, to SPACE-1. [Fig. 1.2] Supernovas are not only the originators of all chemistry beyond hydrogen and helium [by nuclear fusion.], but serve in astronomy as reliable ‘distance yardsticks’ [“candles”] on which much of astronomy rests. The reason for this selection is explained below. Certain types of supernovas serve in astronomy as the max-cosmic temperature standard for calibrating distances to far-away galaxies via the absolute luminosity (brightness) method discussed in Volume I. That end [see below] is reached when a threshold amount of iron is formed in the interior of a massive star [Volume I]. At this stage all net energy generation inside the star stops and the process reverses into an endothermic one during which energy is consumed.

End of Life on Earth: RED GIANTS

A

bout 5.4 billion years

from now, the Sun’s interior will be hot enough to start hydrogen fusion that would spread to the Sun’s outer layers, which thus would be inflated more that 250 times its current size, (image) to become RED GIANT. Gradually Earth would fall to orbits near the sun, eventually being engulfed and destroyed inside the Sun even before the Sun reaches its largest size. The Sun itself will continue to exist for many billions of years,as white dwarf. Eventually, it is to become a black dwarf. (Vol. I at xx).

A

n interesting example of a

red giant is Mira A, (image) in binary (two-­‐stars) system that is about 400 light-­‐years away from Earth. Mira A’s companion, known as Mira B (Image), which is a hot, dense white dwarf producing fast stellar winds that cause the two stars to create the nebula of red dust shown in the Image. Said dust and debris may later become candidates for generating planetary systems. (but see also 55

Supernova below.). STELLAR COLLAPSE: Reaching the no-more-hydrogen-fuel stage of star-life, the core pressure falls and the star cannot support the gravity-induced ‘weight’ of its upper layers. This leads to a few, general-relativistic, ‘deterministic options’, depending on the mass and details of the doomed star (Vol. I at xx): 1. If the mass of the star is about 1.4 times that of the sun, the star slowly decays into a white dwarf. 2. If its mass is larger, the formation of an extremely packed neutron star [image] or a black hole [see below]. 3. A gigantic supernova explosion MAY follow the collapse-implosion by bouncing back from a central dense body. Type Ia supernovas harbor consistent brightness (absolute luminosity) because their progenitor is accreting mass from a nearby star, always imploding into the central neutron star at exactly the same mass -- the Chandrasekhar Mass Limit. [Volume I at xx]. The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey Supernova Program is designed to measure several hundred high-redshifted supernovas. RECAP: Due to their gravity-induced, HIGHEST inner-core pressurestemperatures, massive stars are much faster to evolve to this final stage than do smaller stars, like the sun. 56

Black Holes and Quasars

Black holes in Gravitism take second role as Unsaturable, Local, Thermodynamic “Sinks”. Their roles in shaping the evolution of the world is not like that of the primary, expanding, unstaurable, single thermodynamic VOIDS/SPACE-1 universal “Sink”. (Figs. 1.1 & 1.2; Vol I at xx).

S

tellar and galactic black holes (Option 2 above), can only come into being by

the combination of (i) strong gravity pressures and temperatures inside massive stars and galactic centers objects, (ii) the expansion of unsaturable SPACE-1 [the Master Black Sink]. Most black holes are wrapped around by non-expanding SPACE-3, or exist within Space-2. (Fig. 1.2).

Einsteinian gravity formulations of black holes are available in Lecture 8, Vol. I at xx.

Recap: Stellar-based black holes cannot evolve without SPACE-1-expansion that allows stellar evolution. Astrophysicists indirectly detect the presence of black holes, which may range from roughly the mass of a few suns to ten billion times greater. Such supermassive ones are, postulated to be in the center of some extremely bright galaxies, including the ‘Milky Way’ and quasars. Black holes are general relativistic cosmological sinks for all matter-energy arriving and falling into them from nearby stars and inter-stellar medium. They are postulated to be highly concentrated, local gravity-sinks where the gravity field is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them. 57

The massive black hole in the center of our Miliky Way galaxy is about 4 million times more massive than the sun, and is located about 27,000 light-years away.

Recap: General relativistic cosmology predicts that black holes are one-way sinks in space-time. Some are assumed to be in the center of some galaxies. They may be associated with what is observed and termed quasars. Within a black hole all atomic and sub-atomic structures had already been crushed to become only geometrically-curved space-time. This is due to the extremely strong gravitational field within a black hole. The cause of that total ‘break down’ of all structures is only Einsteinian relativistic gravity. September 2014: A team from Amherst College astronomy recorded the largest-­‐ known flare in X-­‐rays from an assumed supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. It was detected by NASA's Chandra X-­‐ray Observatory. Nevertheless, the greatest energy sink in the entire universe remains expanding SPACE-­‐1 .(Figs. 1.1 to 1.6 & Vol. I.).

Q

uasars are assumed to be super massive forms of black holes. Hundreds

have been detected by NASA's Spitzer space telescope, which measures infrared light, and by Chandra, which measures X-ray emissions. These quasars are in young (far-away) galaxies that are surrounded by relatively high-density gas that emits X-rays as it is being sucked into and accelerated towards a one-way sink of a massive black hole. Dust-gas cloud being destroyed by black hole near our galactic center: On December 14, 2011, Nature reported that by using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, a team from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, has been following a cloud of dust-gas that is accelerating in the direction of the massive black hole in our galactic center:

In 2004 the cloud was moving closer to the black hole at 1200 kilometers per second, and by 2011 at 2350 km/sec. Thus, during the next 10 years, the cloud will be gradually falling into our galactic black hole. The black hole destroys the cloud by first heating it via viscosity friction and gravity (to millions of degrees C) resulting in visible energy outputs.

8. Adiabatic Envelope in Mid Expanding Voids

A

n adiabatic “wall”, or “surface”, is a physical wall or an imaginary surface

through which no NET energy flow takes place. In Fig. 1.2 we mark only three points on such imaginary surfaces, namely, where there is ‘No net energy flow’ across them. These surfaces wrap around super-clusters of galaxies in 3 dimensions. No net energy flow means that radiation [and matter particles] somewhat similar to the ones detected within our solar wind – do not cross such adiabatic surfaces. The maximum temperature attainable in each galaxy is about the same. It is roughly the same as that generated initially by a supernova and is attributed to: (1) the maximum temperature in stellar cores during fusion in all active stars, (2) The maximum temperature during supernovas explosions. (3) The maximum detectable temperatures attainable by at the external surfaces of quasars or galactic centers that harbor gigantic black holes. Since we cannot observe the entire universe (due to the limited speed of light and said voids expansion), the study of the dynamics of a single adiabatic envelope that wraps around a typical emitter is equivalent to the study and analysis of the entire universe. Why?

The well-verified isotropic and homogeneous distribution of the observed cosmic dark voids vis-à-vis the shining emitters -- as illustrated by Fig. 1.1, when combined with the physico-chemical dynamics of nuclear fusion (Footnote above) and supernova (Footnote above), mean that about the same max temperature characterizes all super-clusters recorded in Fig. 1.1. These qualities have been preserved as the universe has expanded from what is recorded in Fig. 1.6 to what is recorded in Fig. 1.1. Therefore, the dynamics and thermodynamics inside each such a randomly chosen single virtual “cell” represent those of the entire universe. This conclusion is important because less and less of the observed universe [Fig. 1.1] will be seen with the progress of the accelerated expansion. In short, we harbor no option but to use “cells” for we cannot see and study the entire universe.

The Solar System

is composed of our sun [picture], the orbiting planets, moons, asteroids, comets, rocks, gases and dust, all bounded together by the COMBINED attractive gravitational field of the sun, ‘our’ galaxy, ‘our’ local group of galaxies, ‘our’ superclusters of galaxies [Fig. 1.1] and the gravitational field of all the masses in the rest of the universe. The sun, like all active stars, is a self-gravitating massive sphere of sub-atomic particles in a state of hot plasma that is pressed-heated by the attractive force of gravity. It accounts for about 99% of the solar system total mass. Its diameter is about 1.392 million km and is slightly larger than of an average star in ‘our’ Milky Way galaxy. About 74% of the sun’s mass is hydrogen, with about 25% helium. 60

Gravity-captured debris [asteroids] from previous generations of earlier gas or stars/supernovas, had started to condense and fall into or orbit the sun, gradually structuring the currently observed solar planets. During more than half of its present age, the universe did not harbor our solar system.

No Net Sun’s Energy Remains in Earth Or in the Planets. It All Proceeds to Spaces 3, 2 and 1 This fact is verified in studies of the complicated thermal cycles in our atmosphere and on earth’s surface. The incoming sun energy [“Solar Wind”, Fig. 1.2.1] is partially reflected [and scattered] from the upper layers of our atmosphere [about 30%] back to nonexpanding Space-3, and, eventually, to reaching expanding SPACE-1. Most incoming short-wave energies [about 64%] are reflected back to Spaces 3, 2 and eventually absorbed in the ever expanding Space-1 as long-wave radiation. Thus, all incoming sun’s energy (plus about 6% of heat from the earth’s interior], is proceeding further into the depths of Spaces 3, 2 and 1.

RECAP: On its way to SPACE-1, the ‘solar wind’ (Fig. 1.2.1) partly engulfs the solar system, earth and the other solar planets. No equivalent amount of this incoming radiation energy remains with earth and the other planets.

expansion. Non-scientific, socio-religious pressures in 1919 forced Einstein to make the worse blunder of his life, by forcing on EGR an artificial number aimed to stop the unacceptable at that time unstable, expanding or contracting universe. [1]. But in the 1920’s Hubble proved that, indeed, the universe is expanding, as originally predicted by cosmological solutions of EGR. Today, we know the following background facts put together against endless attempts to smuggle mystic matter-energy without declaring the contraband: (i) The universe is expanding only because voids/Space-1 do. (Fig. 1.6 vs. 1.1, and the three Thought Experiments provided above.). (ii) Total, high-temperature, cosmic thermodynamic equilibrium stops all processes without well-recorded-verified VOIDS/SPACE-1-expansion, (iii) Said expansion causes OPPOSING STELLAR WINDS (Figs. 1.2, 1.2.1) to CLASH in each expanding void INTO TOTAL STAGNANT STOP, causing build-up of stagnant radiation pressures, whose gradients slightly add to accelerate filaments inertia recession away from each other. (Figs. 1.1, 1.6). (iv) Said mystic theories not only neglects said factual background but neglect the fundamental reason why Einstein had totally rejected the so-called “cosmological constant” that they smuggle into their theories, often without a due declaration. (v) Said constant had been artificially added by Einstein to the formulations (Vol. I) due to social pressure, and by nothing else. Hence we call it “SOCIAL CONSTANT”, unless proved otherwise.

he limited speed of light is not violated by Space-1-expansion. When

sectors of the universe expand “away from us” at speeds higher than the speed of light, that law is NOT violated. But it limits us to see the entire universe; namely, the light from some far-away receding emitters is gradually being redshifted until the most remote sources totally disappear from our telescopic sights, forever. Humans can thus never see the entire universe. In fact, part of what we see now in Fig. 1.1 will be lost forever to future telescopes.

U

ntil around the mid-Thirties of the previous century, Core Cultural-

Curriculum Courses (in Europe!) were made as ‘scientific’ as possible, and science propped up its foundations by turning to philosophy. This attitude was in part motivated by the desire to appropriate the sciences with the great ‘prestige’ of philosophers, and for the philosopher the fast-growing ‘status’ of science. Hence, European professors vied with one another in presenting science based on high philosophical grounds, and philosophy as a ‘science among sciences’, or even as the ‘sum of the other sciences’. 65

A ‘PhD’ was then a bona fide Philosophy Doctor, a person of advanced core knowledge and eloquence outside his specialism. Western academia has since withdrawn from the game.

Empty specialism

has since gained the highest prestige; no longer do

professors need borrow it from philosophy, nor to teach a bona fide CCCC. Indeed, contemporary professors today vie with one another in presenting fragmented lectures devoid of interconnected content, for they can no longer hope to achieve popularity by injecting upda ted core knowledge into what has gradually become an ever narrower, disciplinary professionalism. This turn of events has resulted in overvaluation of technical professionalism, empty academicism, absolutation of ever-narrower disciplines, and the common inclination to reject bona fide core knowledge from the class. A pity. For these trends only push the young into cynicism, nihilism and feelings of emptiness in education and society at large.

Assertion 2.2 With hope of finding the grand outlook of a spacecraft, students enter our universities. Entering the temples of knowledge they settle for that of an eagle, but what they find is that of a specialist gopher.

The Current Crisis in Education is not subsiding. More than ever before it demands answers, re-assessments, a revised philosophy and acts: How to administer mutual interactions instead of linear causality; structured complexity instead of summation of events; structured historical buildup of facts, instead of summation of isolated events and narrow academic Departments.

Assertion 2.3.1: A Core Curriculum Cultural Course (CCCC) is included in these volumes: The selection of interconnected kernels of updated knowledge to be included in CCCC is based on what I consider a much needed CCCC education at all levels, starting from high schools. It must be delivered to all students, each semester, not only by top faculty, but also by university officialdom and cultural leadership. Otherwise a university president, or a provost, is at best acting more like a CEO of a cooperation aimed at maximizing profit and less at best education and research.

Assertion 2.3.2 Without a guiding-structuring-unifying methodology aimed at gaining an all-embracing, interconnected knowledge that crosses frozen disciplines, any Core Curriculum Cultural Course [CCCC] is nothing but a pity encyclopedia displayed by a specialist nominated by “Organizers” as the “CCCC-Coordinator” who remains helpless in teaching the alluring beauty of mathematics, physics, astronomy, history, the life sciences, and comparative religions, but fails to perceive their profound educational implications as a whole. Modern skepticism is usually the negation of a core, interconnected, educational methodology. Not so with Einsteinian skepticism.

How Errors Are Introduced by Precise Definitions

A

ccording to Plato, everything is connected with everything else.

Therefore, any definition must include 'the whole universe', its contents, dynamics and history. This means that the very act of defining a word, a symbol or an axiom erects a ‘fence’ around it. Anything outside that fence is, a priori, rejected and lost forever. Indeed, without paying much attention to fundamental consequences, we often resort to such definitions as we find them in dictionaries, textbooks and everyday life. A pity.

Assertion 2.3.1 The use of precise definitions, contrary to intent, introduces error.

Tarski's Indefinability Theorem According to this theorem no sufficiently powerful language is stronglysemantically-self-representational. For instance, any arithmetical truth cannot be defined by arithmetics. According to Smullyan [Ref. 10], Tarski's Indefinability Theorem is somewhat superior to the famous Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems [Refrs. 10-], which are 72

more related to mathematics and less to philosophical, scientific, and linguistic issues. Tarski's theorem is not directly about mathematics but about the inherent limitation of any formal language that is strongly-semantically-selfrepresentational when it contains predicates and function symbols defining the semantic concepts specific to that language.

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem Gödel [34-43] has demonstrated that conventional mathematics, which we tend to consider as our supremely logical and consistent system, involves paradoxical, self-referential statements about itself, i.e., a conventional mathematical system, say, the mathematics of flat space in the Euclidian geometry -- an ‘absolute stage’ upon which Newtonian gravity and physics stands, can be incomplete because one has not discovered all its necessary axioms. In other words, no matter how many physico-mathematical issues theoretical physicists solve, there always will be other issues that cannot be solved by any known laws of physics; and since these laws constitute a finite set of rules, and are based on mathematics, Gödel's theorem restricts them. Even in computer science one cannot create a complete and consistent finite list of axioms, or an infinite list. Each time one adds a statement as an axiom; there are other correct statements that cannot be proved, even with the new axiom. Moreover, if the system can prove that it is consistent, it is not. As might have been expected, this idea has been much debated by mathematical philosophers: How can a theory be both correct and unprovable? Is mathematics a loop of our mind? Is the mind a self referential loop? Gödel's first incompleteness theorem shows that any system that allows one to define the natural numbers is necessarily incomplete: it contains statements that 73

[Type text]

are neither provable correct, nor provably false. Some scholars therefore argue that this refutes the logicism of Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell, who had aimed to reduce/define the natural numbers in terms of logic.

Not all axiom systems satisfy these hypotheses, even when these systems have models that include natural numbers as a subset. For example, there are axiomatizations of ‘flat’ space that do not meet the hypotheses of Gödel's theorems.

Another limitation applies only to systems that are used as their own proof systems. Gödel's theorem has another interpretation in the language of computer science. Theorems are computably enumerable: one can write a computer program that will eventually generate any valid proof. One can then ask if it has the stronger property of being recursive: Can one write a computer program to definitively determine if a statement is true or false? Gödel's theorem says that you cannot. His theorems, however, are confined to sufficiently strong axiomatic systems, i.e., that a theory contains enough arithmetic to carry out the proof of the incompleteness theorem. Some scholars claim that Gödel's incompleteness theorems have provided a deadly blow to David Hilbert’s program towards a universal mathematical formalism. Nevertheless, the essence of these issues is much more complicated, as indicated below.

Undecidable Statements: A statement is neither provable nor refutable. Hence, some scholars resort to the concept "independent". However, that concept is also ambiguous. Meta-Language: A sufficiently developed language cannot represent its own semantics. Any meta-language includes primitive notions, axioms, and rules absent from an object language. Theorems provable in a meta-language are not provable in the object language.

“Truth”:

Some of the aforementioned theorems may presuppose that mathematical "truth" and "falsehood" are well-defined in an absolute sense, rather than relative. If an axiomatic system can be proven to be consistent and complete from within itself, then it is inconsistent.

Minds and Machines: Gödel's incompleteness theorems may also reflect on human intelligence. While Gödel's theorems cannot be applied to humans, since they make mistakes and are, therefore, inconsistent, it may be applied to the domain of science. Sets of expressions are considered as coded as sets of numbers. For various syntactic properties (such as a formula, a sentence, etc.), these sets are computable. And any computable set of numbers can be defined by some arithmetic formula. There are various additional theorems and sub-theorems 34-49. I do not intend to expand on them in these pages, for these pages are mainly written for the general reader, without resorting to any mathematics. We therefore move next to elaborate on some more practical domains in the mined fields of verifiable scientific theories and proofs.

“Pure Mathematics”

is human attempt to stay aloof and beyond emotions, traditions and ambitions. It may protect one from making mistakes, prior to and aft writing down any mathematical equation. 75

How mathematics -- combined with verifiable observations -- help protect the human mind from falling into unverifiable traditional dictums or ‘intuitively’ generating mistakes is demonstrated by the following dramatic event in the history of science; when Einstein had concluded that his [tensorial based 2.1-2.3] field equations of general relativity3.3, our most universally verified theory of acceleration and gravity, harbors a mistake. To correct that ‘mistake’, he forced on these equations a ‘correction number’, called the cosmological constant. Luckily his tensorial field equations were flawless, despite the fact that a cult of believers in its unverifiable interpretations has evolved during the last 90 years or so, hinting about their needs to leave that artificial constant in Einstein’s field Equations. [See ‘cosmological constant’, ‘dark matter’, ‘dark energy’, Refs. 74 to 114 and Lecture 4.].

Space-Time and Symmetry-Asymmetry

T

he essence and fundamental meaning of curved space-time, symmetry-

asymmetry, statistics and probabilities are understood only by a portion of scientists. A much smaller portion, or, in fact, a splendid minority, maintains that probabilities, statistics and quantum postulates provide them with no ‘free will’. [Volume I].

Differential Equations vs. Observations

I

t is in what is claimed to be the “domain” of mathematics that time-symmetry,

reversibility and the symmetrical laws of physics serve us as key tools to better understand nature, despite the limitations mentioned above. And it is only by combining (conceptual, reversible, analytic) time-symmetry with (factual, aggregated, observational) time-asymmetry, or by combining reversible equations with a priori known, factual, initial and boundary conditions, that 76

one may, mathematically, arrive at a reliable world outlook in agreement with observations/experimentations. For more information see Refs. 7, 8. While symbols and analytical concepts may be symmetric, words and sentences (in order, syntax, phoneme, form, sound modulation or other modes), or ‘useful’ physico-mathematical equations, are basically asymmetric. Mathematics, gravitation, symmetry-asymmetry, aggregation, time and meaningful sentences are coupled. While some minor reservations are justifiable, there is an overwhelming "word of evidence", derived from physics, the languages and the studies of linguistics, cybernetics, information and mathematics that fortifies this contention. (Lecture 7, Vol. VI). A theory may be a “set of statements”, some of which are taken as valid without proof (axioms), and others, the theorems, are taken as valid because they are implied by the axioms.

A

complete and consistent set of axioms for all mathematics is impossible.

"Provable by a theory" means "derivable from the axioms and primitive notions of the theory, using logic.”

The Popperian Falsification Principle Sir Karl Popper, has introduced the Falsification Principle about the ability of mankind to establish what is science and what is non-science, in addition to what might be ‘true’ within the domain of a given theory, or a set of ‘facts’, axioms or definitions. [Lecture 4] Applied mathematics is often used as unverifiable covers to advance subjectivistic claims, ‘proofs’ and ‘theories’. Lectures 3 and 4, and this one, illustrate how -- by a priori selecting only the time-asymmetric mathematics, or time-asymmetric mathematical solution that fits with their desired ‘proof’ – scientists easily fool themselves, and others.

The Fooling Assertion by Nobel Laureate Feynman

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way.” 78

“You should not fool the layman when you’re talking as a scientist. I am not trying to tell you what to do about cheating on your wife, or fooling your girlfriend, or something like that, when you’re not trying to be a scientist, but just trying to be an ordinary human being. … I’m talking about a specific, extra type of integrity that is not lying, but bending over backwards to show how you are maybe wrong, that you ought to have when acting as a scientist. And this is our responsibility as scientists, certainly to other scientists, and I think to laymen.”

Applied mathematics is the key tool of the ‘exact sciences’. It constitutes a special kind of 'intelligent thinking’ that is integrated with its ‘universal grammar' -- a sort of critical thinking which has been partially developed to safeguard our minds from prejudices and inconsistencies. Yet, consistency, by itself, is a twosided issue. ‘Pure mathematics’ is often developed for its own sake, without a priori harboring intentional applications, although they may be ‘un-covered’ According to Einstein, when we predict the behavior of a specific or confined set of natural phenomena, we usually mean that we have found a ‘constructive theory’ covering this set. When we find that other sets of phenomena are incompatible with that theory, we tend to either generalize or modify it, or failing that, seek an alternative one. To this ‘constructive’ category Einstein opposes the so-called “theories of principles” (exemplified, according to Einstein, by thermodynamics and the general theory of relativity), whose point of departure and foundation are not hypothetical constituent, but empirically observed general properties from which mathematical formulae are deduced so as to apply to every case of observation which presents itself. 79

Thus, according to Einstein, the merit of “constructive theories” lies in their comprehensiveness, adaptability, and clarity for a given set of phenomena, while that of the “theories of principles” -- in their logical ‘perfection’ and universality and in the vast observational spectrum of their formulation at any scale and time. Yet, Einstein did not trust some semi-hidden aspects of his own general theory of relativity2.5. Two such events are described next: The failure of statistical mechanics (both classical and quantum) to deduce and explain the origin of irreversibility, time-asymmetries, cosmic and local structuring, generation of order and what is called “entropy growth” -- as well as its philosophical and applicative limitations and lack of large-scale universality -has been explained in Volume I. (See Table of Contents). Einstein had not suspected that his general theory of relativity already incorporates another ‘theory of principle’: Thermodynamics, especially the socalled Second Law of Thermodynamic. Namely, the foundations of thermodynamics should NOT be a separate, stand-alone, theory of science; it should NOT be fragmented from the rest of physics. It constitutes an integral part of gravity-induced, interconnected, unified physico-philosophical knowledge. In ancient mythology chaos was often the nothingness out of which the first objects of existence appeared. The Biblical Genesis refers to earliest existence as “without form, and void”; modern science dubs it the structureless hot-dense “Radiation Era”, and produces evidence from its close.

This branch of philosophy deals with what has been called "the existential attitude", or a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of apparently meaningless or absurd writings and practices of some academics, when they act act as scientists. (See “WARNING” there). Said warning is directed against those who act in the name of science, but often dress up their linguistic, mathematical formulations and/or initial and boundary imposed conditions, with a contraband smuggled into them without a due declaration of what they want “to prove”. (Vol. I, and reviews above.).

Such misleading acts are often performed in both style and content,

which not only endanger the very existence of verified science in the age of confusing options ruled by the internet, in the age of single-­‐liner students and the current no-­‐reading-­‐books majority. Most important, said popular activities are remote from verifiable facts, are close to chimera, and do endanger the very existence of verified science.

On Einstein’s Personal Philosophy

lbert Einstein was born on March 14,

1879 in Germany and died on April 19 1955 in the United States. His unprecedented contributions to physics in particular and to science, philosophy, defense [atomic bomb], politics against Nazi Germany and support of Israel are 81

detailed in Ref. 1, especially in “The World As I See It”.

Einstein’s deep religiosity “It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which are only accessible to our reason in their most elementary forms -it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man.” “I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.” “Enough for me the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvelous structure of reality, together with the single-hearted endeavor to comprehend a portion, be it never so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature.” “I gang my own gait and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties I have never lost an obstinate sense of detachment, which increases with age.”.

“One is sharply conscious, yet without regret, of the limits to the possibility of mutual understanding and sympathy with one's fellow-creatures. Such a person no doubt loses something in the way of geniality and light-heartedness; on the other hand, he is largely independent of the opinions, habits, and judgments of his fellows.” For the following notes one may consult Schilpp, Clark, Golden, Pais, etc. in Ref. 1. In lieu of the aforementioned personal-life philosophy, Einstein consistently selected to protect his privacy inside his room, in his house, working in maximized-freedom, undisturbed solitude; even sleeping naked in his room while his privacy has been strictly guarded by his devoted secretary Helen Dukas, who also screened his incoming mail, deleted nasty or anti-Semitic letters and politely blocking unwanted visitors. Einstein is also known for his subtle sarcasm. Before Einstein left Hitler’s Germany to the United States, a Professor XXX in Berlin was extremely nasty in targeting him. One day Einstein was informed that Professor XXX just died. Einstein’s reaction: “Everyone does something good in his life, even Professor XXX; he died.” As a younger man he used to play his beloved violin in the homes of some German women. One day, while he was playing there, they started knitting. Einstein stopped playing, packed his violin to leave, and apologized: “I would not even dream to disturb you from your knitting work.” On another occasion, as a celebrity living in his house near a lake outside Berlin, his wife urged him to change his simple, but comfortable home dress, to a formal one, for dignitaries are to arrive soon to visit him. His response: If they come to visit me, let them meet me as I am dressed and work in my house. If they come to see my formal dress, please show them my closet.

If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters. -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐ Alan Simpson If you don't want to have critics: don't do anything and don't be anybody -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐ unknown You never reach a mature technology -­‐ there's no end to the future of improvement. -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐ Sam Williams When acts betray lips trust the acts not the speaker. -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐ 1.1.2011 You....cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You....cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You...cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You....cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You....cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You ... cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You.....cannot establish security on borrowed money. You.....cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. You.....cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐ J. Paul Getty Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing. -­‐-­‐-­‐-­‐ Elie Wiesel
